Experience a tidal wave of colorful action by downloading the new trailer and assets from the press site here.

The original game, released to critical and consumer acclaim in 2006, was hailed as one of the most beautiful games ever created, and this latest release with its renowned Sumi-e ink art style is now even more breath-taking as the graphics have been updated to take advantage of modern high resolutions. Okami HD will be compatible with Xbox One X and PS4 Pro while featuring stunning 4K graphics on Xbox One X, PS4 Pro and supported PC hardware.

In Okami HD players take on the role of Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess who inhabits the form of a legendary white wolf Shiranui on a quest to defeat Orochi, an eight-headed demon and tyrannical monster responsible for turning the world into a ruined wasteland. Players must use Amaterasu’s magical abilities and arsenal of items, attacks and Celestial Brush techniques to restore the land of Nippon to its previous glory full of life and color. Along the way, Amaterasu will be called upon to help a cast of quirky and intriguing characters and defeat a bevy of brutal enemies to rid the land of Orochi’s curse.

Players will be able to choose between playing in a modern widescreen format or the original 2007 release’s 4:3 ratio. Interactive loading game screens from the original game are also included, allowing players to earn bonus demon fangs which can be traded for in-game items.

I only played this for first time a few years ago so I'm not really in a rush to play it again, maybe one for the rental list. I remember finding the part where you had to draw the kanji that appears on Gouki/Akuma's back onto a kimono quite frustraing. It took me a good while to manage to draw it correctly.

$20, maybe £20, is great price! If someone hasn't played it before they are able to get a Zelda-ish game with high quality visuals. In store that price will likely help push copies. Better than Bulletstorm redux coming out at full price and flopping. I think Sony have been good in showing that there is room for different price points.

I think it'll be priced similarly to the DR remasters and those were even cheaper than £20!

My biggest issue was that for such a large world there was little to do in it. Now with some games that isn't always an issue, but I did find it was for me with Okami. But as I said, I'll definitely be giving it another go, doubly so with it being a physical release on PS4.
